XNC is very, very good for Terran in TvZ. The positions are short enough that 11/11 is a nightmare to deal with and counter-attacks are very difficult, the natural is open enough that if the T just gets a ton of hellions, there's nothing the Z can do to stop a drone massacre, the gold can be taken while the T is pushing towards the Z, and the gold's position in the center of the map commands the major counter-attack paths into the Terran base. People don't want to dump it because it's old--the GSL still runs Metalopolis--but instead because it's just bad for Z in the current metagame.
